Treptow Dr. and Mrs. William Wolf Wrinkle In Time Foundation Irene and Alan Wurtzel “As a native of the Piedmont—the red clay under my feet runs in my blood. So, for me, it’s just a part of life. I appreciate and love it, and I try to convey that to people. For me, PEC is a support. It’s like your backbone, you know. You know you’ve got somebody there that’s on your side. You know you’ve got somebody there that’s supporting how you choose to farm. You know you’ve got somebody there that’s outreaching into the community. So, for me, it gives me strength to know that there are others out there who appreciate what I do. Honor the things that make your heart sing, and if the Piedmont makes your heart sing, definitely get involved with PEC.” TERRY INGRAM, organic dairy farmer and conservation easement donor, Culpeper County contributions Piedmont Environmental Council · Annual Report · 2011 25
